Starting Instructions

It is recommended that you read the entire manual

before starting the Mosquito Magnet

trap.

1. Insert Octenol or Lurex3 cartridge in compartment per

instructions in cartridge packaging.

2. Connect regulator to propane tank (see page 8).

3. Plug power connector into the trap.

4. Plug AC adapter into electrical socket. (To avoid the risk

of electrical shock, connect only to properly grounded

outlets.) Adapter unit is not intended to be mounted.

5. Slowly turn propane tank valve on.

6. Turn rocker switch to “on” position.

7. The red light on the switch will flash for up to 20 minutes

(warm up phase).

8. Once the light stops flashing and is solid, the Mosquito

Magnet is fully operational.

NOTE: Should you experience an interruption of power,

be sure to restart trap.

Shut Down Instructions

To shut down the Mosquito Magnet, simply close the valve

on the propane tank and switch to the “off” position.

When Not In Use

If the unit is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the

supply cylinder. Storage of this unit indoors is permissible only

if the cylinder is disconnected and removed. Cylinders must

be stored outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be

stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

End of Season Storage

Push ON/OFF switch to OFF position to shut down the

trap. The LED light will go out and the fan will continue

running until trap is cool. Close the propane tank valve

and disconnect regulator.

Any open Mosquito Magnet

Octenol or Lurex3

cartridges should be removed and discarded. See

cartridge label for disposal instructions. The bug bag

should also be discarded prior to storing the trap.

STORAGE: The trap should be stored indoors in a garage

or shed in the off-season. Cover trumpet to prohibit insects

from nesting. Cover unit with trap cover available at

www

.mosquitomagnet.com or with a tarp and secure tightly

at the bottom to keep out dust, spider webs and other debris.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Quick Clear

adapter before seasonal storage to avoid build-up

of contaminants during off-season (see page 11).

Maintenance

• 21 Day Maintenance Cycle

- Refill propane. 20 lb (9.07 kg) propane tank lasts approximately

21 days with 24-hour/7-days operation.

- Replace Octenol or Lurex3 cartridge.

See cartridge label for instructions.

- Empty or replace bug bag.

- Utilize the Quick Clear adapter at every tank change.

• Periodically wipe down the outside of the trap

with a clean, water damp cloth.

Propane Tank Changing Tips

When attaching the regulator knob to a tank after a tank change,

be sure to fully tighten the regulator knob onto the tank. No need

to use tools, but do turn the knob as far as possible by hand.

When this is done, loosen the knob 1/4 turn, then re-tighten to

maximize seal.

The purpose for this is to fully engage the regulator onto the tank. If

the regulator is not fully engaged, the flow of gas may be restricted

to the point where the trap will show a gas empty code. If this

occurs, press the off button, close the tank valve, and remove the

regulator from the tank. Re-attach the regulator and try again.
